Standard can ground clearance
 

As title really, what is the standard can ground clearance like? Anyone got a pic of a bike 'rit over' with a stock can??

You see, I have put footpeg raisers on so it will give the pegs a bit more, but I am a bit concerned; the can might then hit the ground before the pegs - NOT GOOD!! :eek: ...

Just joined, first post.
Standard exhaust will touch down but not until the pegs have started to fold some way (that is if the 'hero blobs' are still intact). Replaced it for a CCC, no more problems but need to raise the brake lever now!

But I have raised my pegs ...

Can't really make out the lowest point if the can in that pic (your bleeding leg is in the way!! :D), got any more!?!? ;)

Sorry, will pose better next time :salut:


Just looked through teh other pics, and theres none with it cranked over that shows it unfortunalty.

But looking over the other pics, the litle lump that is sticking downwards between my knee and my foot/ankle (steady on ladies) does appear to be the exhaust.

Hope that helps.

I can see the end bit, but it is the bit near your foot/peg that is likely to touch down and I need to see ..

How much higher than stock are the footpegs:?: I'm quite sure your going to have problems. The can will hit the deck if you have no blobs on on standard pegs. If your pegs are higher than the length of standard blobs it'll be touch down time.

Raiser plates - not these exact ones (can’t remember the make of mine of the top of my head) but the same idea ... I have mine on the highest and furthest back position ...

That's my point, if you've raised the pegs the standard can will almost certainly be first to touch down. As long as you don't hit it too hard it might just raise the bike on the suspension a little.

Didn't realize I'd caught it until I checked it later.

Be careful on the left as well, the side stand touches down not long after the standard pegs.
